people to enjoy.Paris in France plans to ban (private cars from the heart of the city by
2024.The ban is going to take more than 100,000 cars off the roads each day.

free streets
Yes-more outdoor spaces are always better

life.Shops and restaurants on car-free streets benefit (from foot traffic.And slow streets
encourage new businesses,such as food trucks and outdoor vendors ()to develop in the
area.Also,cars cause air and noise pollution.Closing streets to cars encourages people to take buses
or ride bikes instead.It's safer and better for everyone.
No-car-free streets cause other problems
Car-free streets cause traffic problems on nearby roadways.That makes it harder for people to
go about their daily lives.Also,businesses on open streets can get into trouble because foot traffic
doesn't always mean more sales.They could lose customers who want to drive to shops.And even
when streets are car-free there are usually still other vehicles like scooters and bikes.People,
especially kids,may not be looking out for these vehicles.That could put them at risk.
